IMPROVEMENT IN COMBINED BREAST-PUMP-AND SYRINGE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 213.014, dated March 4, 1879; application filed August 5, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, IVIAX VON BEUST, of New Albany, in the county of Floyd and State of Indiana, have invented certain Improvements in Combined Breast-Pump and Syringe, of which the following is a specifica ion:

This invention consists in having theinduction-tube of a syringe made with an open mouth, adapted to be placed over the breast,

and combined with the bulb and side discharge-tube, so that the device may be used either as a syringe or as a breast-pump, as hereinafter explained.

A is the vacuum-cup, adapted to fit the breast, and it is provided with a suitable stem, A. B is the exhaust-bulb, and O is the discharge-pipe, all of which are so constructed that they may be screwed upon the valve-box D.. The valve-box D is constructed with three nipples, D D D onto which are screwed the cup A, bulb B, and pipe G, as shown. The nipples D D are arranged in line with each other and on opposite ends of the valve-box, so that the vacuum-cup A may be readily inserted in a vessel and the bulb B be without said vessel when the device is employed as a syringe.

The nipple D on which pipe G is attached, projects out from one side of thevalve-box D in the most convenient position for the discharge of the water or other fluid.

The vacuum-cup A may be placed over the breast and the device be used as a breastpump. 7

What I claim as my invention is- The induction-tube A, made with an open mouth, A, and combined with the bulb B and side discharge-tube, O, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

MAX VON BEUST.
